I know this is a completely self-serving topic, but we horrorthonners are a music-loving bunch, and there have to be some good concert-related tales out there that can be conveyed in 17 syllables.

Syllables in that last one
All over the place
Caught John Lee Hooker
Did any of you see him?
I think not, I win
Sabbath reunion
Opening acts: Pantera
System of a Down
SOD opened
Frontman: screeching lunatic
Good thing we were late
Then came Pantera
Super fast, super heavy
Beat me to a pulp
What's he saying though?
Sample lyrics: "UH LUH LUH!
UH LUH LUH LUH LUH!"
Then came the darkness
Sound like heavy black hammers
Sabbath's still got it
After, in a daze
Friend said, "You just got rocked, son"
No feeling like it
Strange experience
The Clash opened for The Cars
tp rolls flying
Mr. Bungle bliss
Deranged evil clown music
My wet dream come true
My bro wins hands down
Most Embarrassing Concert:
Milli Vanilli
Two dudes just dancing
And someone just pressing "Play"
That's what you paid for
Young MC opened
At least his mic was open
Bust A Move, indeed
Off to L.A. Guns
Motorcycle crash witnessed
Guy was messed up bad
We called 911
Lifted the bike off of him
All in a day's work
Handsome Stan and I
Save lives then go off to rock
We're just cool, I guess
Phish millennium
Mistook fireworks for bombs
Stan led path to death
Stan held the answers
Sweatpants wouldn't believe him
Just like life, really
We did save that guy
If Phil Lewis only knew
Would've played "Gypsy"
Saving dude's life? Check.
Being 2 of 10 at show? Check.
We did good that night
Mock them all you want
But KISS puts on a great show
You wanted the best
Paul flies across room
Ace shoots bombs from his guitar
And Gene breathes fire

Zombie & Ozzy
Zombie's stage: fear-inducing
Fire, strippers, robots
Giant wall with fire
Strippers gyrating on poles
Robot dinosaur
Blew him off the stage
Ozzy was just old & lame
Mr. Crowley? Left.
What's with Ozzy's squats
Looked like he's playing leap frog
He's old and insane
